POCUS Echocardiogram Volume Assessment Echo provides increased accuracy and insight into volume state assessment. This grid illustrates 2 extremes of volume state: - A hypervolaemic patient with LV systolic failure - A hypovolaemic patient with a hyperdynamic heart Optimal volume assessment integrates: 1. PMHx - particularly any recent echo while euvolemic 2. Hx - weight change/dehydration/intake/output 3. Rx - PEEP/diuretics/fluids/inotropes 4. Physical Exam 5. POCUS - minimum of IVC, LV, RV, B-lines, plus valves ideally - Dr. Jono Henry https://twitter.com/DrJonoHenry #POCUS #Echocardiogram #Volume #Assessment #Diagnosis #Comparison #Hypovolemic #Hypervolemic #Wet #Dry
